Beautiful Lacazian gouache of a woman lying on an orange-red sofa, her eyes closed in front of an open newspaper.

The diagonal of the female body and that of the sofa fill the page. A small yellow bouquet in a bright ultramarine blue pot completes the right-hand side of the drawing. Violet tones provide the link and unity of the work.

In a thoughtful palette with structured strokes, the painter celebrates the sensuality of a languid body and the calm of a face resting on a cushion.

The intense opposition of the warm colour of the couch with the cold colour of the blue pot gives rhythm to the gouache, but leaves the model, stained with calm tones, well asleep.
